Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 19 Situation

"We discovered the bandit attack in time, and then led a platoon to fight back in the dark night. We only injured four soldiers and captured Qingfeng Village. This fighting style is very similar to yours." Luo Yuanfan glanced at Li Yunlong: "This Zhang Dabiao is a fierce general, and it seems that the first battalion commander was right."

"I think so too. I thought this guy was pleasing to my eye the first time I saw him. How about it? The person I like is not ambiguous about fighting, right?" Li Yunlong said with a smile on his face.

Luo Yuanfan rubbed the battle report in his hand: "It's really good. But I have a suggestion."

"What proposal?"

"You should learn some cultural knowledge and try to write your own battle report next time. Don't ask Consultant Meng to ghostwrite it. People are beginning to doubt the educational ability of our team."

Li Yunlong scratched his head and looked at Luo Yuanfan's helpless expression and had no choice but to laugh.

"However, Consultant Meng's pen calligraphy is really good, but there are too many simplified characters, which makes it a little uncomfortable to read, and some words have to be guessed." Luo Yuanfan commented on Meng Zhige's handwriting.

Li Yunlong nodded in agreement: "I think so. Brother Meng's writing looks quite impressive."

"Come on, you know a few words, and you're just making comments here. If you are really capable, read those documents."

Luo Yuanfan reached out and slapped a stack of paper on the table. Li Yunlong turned over the paper and looked like a scoundrel again: "If you don't understand, tell me."

"You!" Luo Yuanfan had nothing to do with Li Yunlong: "This is the information from the brigade headquarters. In the past few days, the Japanese invaded south along the Baijin Highway. By the [-]th, they had occupied Changzhi and its surrounding Xiangyuan, Tunliu, The eldest son, Lucheng, opened the northern section of the Baijin Highway."

Li Yunlong frowned, this was not good news.

"The brigade commander guessed that the next move of the Japanese would be to open up the Handan-Changchang Highway, and then the Japanese would end the raid."

"Hanchang Highway..." Li Yunlong looked at the map hanging on the wall: "Licheng is in danger."

"Yes, Licheng. The brigade commander said that we should be ready. As soon as the Japanese mopping up troops withdrew, they immediately set out to retake Wuxiang and Yushe. In a few months, our brigade may return to Taiyue District to consolidate the base there. , help open up the situation. There will still be many fierce battles to be fought, and the brigade commander specifically warns you that you are not allowed to suffer losses at this stage, and you must ensure that you have combat effectiveness."

"In addition, the brigade headquarters allocated two companies of soldiers to our regiment to supplement, plus fifty boxes of grenades. Now our regiment has 1342 people. The second battalion has also been supplemented, and only the third battalion is still short of men."

After hearing Luo Yuanfan's words, Li Yunlong instantly became alert: "That's not right. The brigade commander usually tells me not to cause trouble. Why is he telling me not to suffer a loss this time and even asking me to use hand grenades?" "Oh, you still know that this is usually the case. Telling you not to cause trouble? I'm really afraid that you will go out and cause trouble and suffer a loss!" Luo Yuanfan said angrily: "Fifty boxes of grenades only amount to [-], and each person in the group can't get two. It's a waste of money. Come on, what else do you want to do?"

Li Yunlong lowered his head and stopped talking.In the days when guns and ammunition were insufficient and there were almost no artillery shells, the Eighth Route Army could always struggle with the Japanese and cause huge casualties to the Japanese because of grenades.The technical difficulty of this thing is low, and the output is large. It is enough for daily use. In any war, a batch of grenades are thrown out. Even if it does not kill anyone, it can be used as a smoke bomb.

But now is the period of Japanese raids. The ammunition consumption of each unit has increased significantly, and there are also difficulties in supply transportation. The supplies must be directed to the units with combat missions for use first.It may take some time for the new group to wait until the supplies are complete.

"By the way, there is another news, which came from the supplementary regiment. After they took away the big stronghold, there was a loophole in the Japanese troop deployment, so they urgently established two small strongholds, each garrisoned with a detachment of troops. . Our mortal enemy, the 107th Wing, is also stationed near there for the time being. At present, it seems that they have no plans to move. "

"That's a casualty of more than 100 people. It's not small. The Japanese will definitely react. But this little Japanese really knows how to choose his position. It's hard for me to take action even though there is a supplementary group." Li Yunlong looked at the map and shook it. Shaking his head: "Forget it. I'd better organize the manpower in the regiment and go to the nearby Japanese stronghold to launch cold shots. Now our regiment doesn't have many others, but there are many bullets."

"There are more bullets..." Luo Yuanfan repeated with a smile on his face.

Just yesterday, No. 17, Boss Meng sent another batch of supplies.In addition to fifty boxes of canned pork, there were also thirty boxes of [-] rifle ammunition—another thirty thousand rounds.In less than a week, [-] rounds of ammunition have been accounted for. The entire regiment has an average of more than [-] rounds per person, making Yuncu richer than before the war.Now the two of them knew why Meng Zhige never took bullets seriously - he gave them so many.

Over the past seven months this year, the entire military has received 190 million rifle ammunition and 30 pistol ammunition from friendly forces.Meng Zhige was lucky, he got 36/[-] in less than a week.

But the problem is that the marksmanship of the soldiers is not good. Shooting from a long distance is just a short-term attack on the enemy. It gives the little devil an advantage, and maybe he will be thrown from the projectile.Close combat requires the power and cover of grenades.There is no way to fight a big battle, and you will definitely suffer losses.It's a pity that the grenades promised by Meng Zhige have not arrived yet, otherwise Li Yunlong would want the little devil to try the power of the new grenades now.

So after much thought, it would be more appropriate to take a cold shot.Using the old to lead the new can not only practice marksmanship for the soldiers, but also cause losses to the Japanese.If the Japs dare to chase them out... If you can, just give up your stronghold and rush out. If the new regiment can't defeat the Japs of the size of a detachment or squad, then don't fight. Take the initiative to put on a dough-making hat, and Li Yunlong will make his head right away. Turn it into a chamber pot and send it to the brigade commander.

"It's okay to shoot cold shots, but you have to set up positions in advance, dig anti-gun holes, prepare retreats, and try to ensure the safety of personnel." Luo Yuanfan gave some instructions and suddenly asked: "Your main purpose is to practice shooting for the soldiers, right? ?”

"Yes." Li Yunlong laughed: "Brother Meng has been talking in my ear about the shooting range. I agree with improving the marksmanship of the soldiers. But let me tell you, what's the point of shooting? No matter how you shoot, you will always be a target. , all the bullets are wasted. How good is it to practice shooting directly at the Japanese. If you miss, you can scare him. If you hit, it will be the result of the battle."

"Don't get too fancy. What do you say to the brigade commander? The whole army is short of bullets now. Why are you doing cold shots from a long distance here? When the brigade commander finds out, you may not know how you will be punished."

"Our regiment will use half, and the other half will be stationed first. When the brigade commander finds out, I will hand it over. These bullets are used to fight the Japanese, and they are not sold out. The brigade commander will give me a serious criticism at most. Besides, this practice Brother Meng was the one who proposed the gun first. He must consider Brother Meng's wishes no matter what he does, right?" Li Yunlong smiled and ignored it.
